Capsicum - £55 (GBP) SOLD

A still life of two capsicums in acrylics on box canvas, the painting continues around the edges. It is ready to hang and there is no need to frame.200mm x 200mm x 20mm.

These I found a challenge to paint, but I really enjoyed painting the stalk for some peculiar reason! I intended to paint a regular pepper, but my husband bought these for me instead. Beautiful, long, ripe, red capsicums. I was going to paint them from another angle to show off their contours & length, but realised that I would not be able to paint for a few day later... so... I decided after painting them that I would especially enjoyed eating them for our supper instead! We had them roasted with butternut and bacon! YUM!Hope you enjoy the painting as much as I did painting and eating them!

I am a ceramic artist living and working in Torphins, Aberdeenshire from my studio at Platform 22. My time in the studio is divided between commissions, exhibition work and tutoring.
I am happiest expressing my ideas through clay, creating richly colored‚ decorative and tactile pieces of ceramics, which combines and plays with the functional boundaries and sculptural concepts.
